Set design for the annual MTV Brasil Award, called MIAW. 

In a year where the Award had to follow rules of social distance and we could't have an audience, due to COVID 19, the great challenge was to create thought-provoking and welcoming spaces that would impress the virtual audience with creativity and innovation, while the talents that passed by the stage were protect. 

The project was developed inside a concert hall, Audio Club, in São Paulo. We use all available spaces between the stage and the audience area to distribute 3 distinct places: the Cubo Stage, the Main Stage and the Miaw’s Logo Stage. The functionality between this 3 places could be explored by the directors and the cameras game. 

The Cubo stage was a space for musical performances, configured from the assembly of a larger Cube, made with semi-mirrored Plexiglas walls, ceiling and floor, which in turn reflected a smaller Cube, mounted inside it. 

This smaller Cube had coloured Plexiglas walls and ceiling, which were infinitely reflected in the mirrored walls of the larger cube. The LED panel was positioned behind one of the walls of the larger cube, which provided yet another layer of information and reflection. A consistent light apparatus was mounted around the cubes, and at their edges we had white neon lines that delimited the shape.

The Main stage, was the space for awards and some musical performances. Three square stages and 3 LEDs were mounted on a large pool of broken mirrors. All this broken mirrors used were scrap and gained a new creative and playful reading, expanding the spaces of lights and colours around them.

The Miaw’s Logo stage was a third place for musical performs, where the Award Logo was built three-dimensionally on a kind of steel surface. The delicate layer of oil oozed over its surface. This oil was a recycled oil, of course, and gave the logo a more sublime and creative dimension.

The way the project worked with new readings for recycled materials, such as mirror and oil, resulted in a TV show with a different palette of sensations and textures. The multiple dimensions of color in the Cube completed the ambitions for innovation and creativity that MTV Channel asked for at the beginning of conversations.
